Hi Samantha, I'm just new to all this. My son at 7 has frontal lobe seizures. I have noticed when his dad and I are stressed Cole will have a rough night. His are nocturnal frontal lobe. Babies and kids are so smart if they feel mom and dad stressed they may have more anxaity. His dad and I have almost split up a few times from the stress of all this. Its so hard.
